:''For the adjacent railway station, see Tara Street railway station.'' Tara Street is a major traffic route in Dublin, Ireland, partly due to the current one-way traffic flow in the city centre.〔(Draft Georges Quay Plan ), December 2008, p. 31〕 It links Pearse Street to the northern side of the city via Butt Bridge - traffic flows to the north. The station gives its name to Tara Street railway station, literally around the corner on Georges Quay, near the northern end of Tara Street. It was developed as a completely new street in 1885 replacing Shoe Lane (part of which was called Stocking Lane) and George's Street. The street was named after Tara, the home of the ancient high kings of Ireland. In April 1907 Dublin Fire Brigade opened its headquarters at the new fire station at the corner of Tara Street and Pearse Street.〔(Dublin Fire Brigade a History )〕〔(Irish Architecture - Photos of former fire station on corner of Tara and Pearse streets )〕 This would be the headquarters of the Fire Brigade until a new headquarters was opened in Townsend Street in 1998.〔 The brick watch tower at the intersection of the two streets is now a protected structure.〔(List of protected structures in Dublin City ) - tower is listed on p. 368〕 During the Easter Rising, British artillery shelled Liberty Hall from Tara Street, though the road surface made it difficult.〔(Easter Rising 1916 ), by Michael McNally and Peter Dennis, p.68.〕 Tara Street was widened in 1932 after Butt Bridge was changed from a swing bridge to a three span fixed structure. In October 2006, the Irish Times moved to new headquarters in Tara Street.〔(Over €25 million for headquarters of The Irish Times )〕〔(Old Lady of D'Olier St moves to council house ), Irish Independent〕 Previously, it had been based on D'Olier Street〔〔 == Literary connection == Leopold Bloom thinks about using the Tara Street public baths in the Calypso section of the novel Ulysses.〔(Ask About Ireland - Pages in History feature - Mentions public baths )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tara Street」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
